Hey all! Hope everyone had a great weekend. Thank you all to those who came out and participated during our events last week. Great fun across the board on games new and old. We're very excited to share with you what we have in store for you this week. In particular we're happy to showcase Neverwinter, a free to play MMORPG, as an event once more this Friday night. As part of our 'Free to Play Friday' lineup on Xbox it is coming out of retirement for one night only. Let's see what else we have planned for you:
Featured Game Nights [May 23rd & 27th]
Xbox Game Nights were introduced back in January of this year. These are local AJSA Xbox Club activities that are normally held during days where we have no events scheduled. These organized play sessions are structured to be more loose and laidback, creating more opportunities for us as a community to reach out to more games and play even more with each other.
For additional information on Game Nights/Weekly Events, check out our Xbox Community Information thread.
Wednesday May 23rd - DOOM - 7:00pm EST - Host: Sickshock6
Sunday May 27th - Elite Dangerous - 7:30pm EST - Host: MasterfulJoe101
AJSA Xbox One Weekly Event Schedule [May 22nd to May 26th]
How Can I Join An Xbox One Event? - For new members/first time event participants, I highly encourage you to add all the hosts as your friend on Xbox Live (Gamertags are listed for every host below). You can also join the AJSA Xbox Club and add hosts/members there. All event and game night parties are launched from the Club. Additionally, please review our Code of Conduct.
Communication during events are done primarily in the Xbox Live Party system. In case of emergency, we will use the AJSA Discord Channel. We accept and make adjustments for people who are shy in large groups and/or for people who have no mics.
If by chance you do not have the host as a friend, please message the host for an invite to the game/party during the event and then exchange friend requests upon entry to the party. Most, if not all, event parties will be visible to all Xbox Club members. Look under "Looking for Group" at the start/during an event to view the event party and join up.
If you would like to give advance notice to the host that you would like to play, you are free to do so. Otherwise keep note of the event start times and join the host's Xbox Live party to begin. If you have any questions, please contact me directly at "RuneX" on the forums or on Xbox Live. To learn more about the AJSA Xbox One Division, check out our Community Information thread.

This Thursday night we are taking a little detour to Minecraft! Come on by and build with us as we craft and play in our Xbox community world. Members are invited play, talk, and craft together with their fellow builders in the Angry Army.
Please note that for this event we are using the newest version of Minecraft on Xbox One.
A quick recap from April...Our expeditionary outpost has been completed and we started scouting deeper into the new world. A site has been selected to build a new base and it's likely this event we'll begin building the foundation.
Participants are highly encouraged to join the Xbox Live Party of the host "RuneX" during the event. If the party is full, please message him so room can be made for you. Happy mining!

Neverwinter - Xbox One Event - May 25th, 2018 @7:30pm EST (12:30am GMT)

- Free to Play Friday -
Every Friday night in the month of May we are featuring a different free to play title in an event form. In this 'Free to Play Friday' event series we are featuring games that are either already free to play, games that are free with Games with Gold, or games that are holding free to play weekend sessions.
This Friday night we are showcasing Neverwinter, an MMORPG that has deep roots within the history of the AJSA Xbox community. This game, along with Elder Scrolls Online, was part of our 'MMO Friday' initative in early 2016 where every Friday night our AJSA Guilds in Neverwinter and ESO gathered to play. Now after two years, we're bringing Neverwinter out of retirement for one night only for a special event!
Players of all skill levels are welcome to play. We will accomodate all members of all ranks. First time playing Neverwinter? Want to get a head start on learning the game? Check out this Beginner's Guide. Please reach out to our host if you have any questions regarding this event. Thank you!

Metal Gear will be free with 'Games with Gold' starting this Wednesday so we're holding a special event this Friday night (conveniently as part of our 'Free to Play' weekly series). Great opportunity to experience this game as a group.

Have a great week! Cya at the events.
